The iconic Hope Town Light House
Hope
Town on Elbow Cay, Abaco is a wonderful place to spend some time on a
mooring ball. Most visitors and the boaters will climb the old light
house, walk the beautiful beaches, stroll the quaint narrows streets,
shop, or dine out at one of the restaurants in Hope Town. Some might
visit the museum to see the artifacts from 230 years of continuous
habitation.

This beach is not as famous at Harbour Island but looks just as pink to me
White
Pepper, however, chose to go
the pool every afternoon for a pool party for eight straight days.
Thanks to the gracious toleration of the Hope
Town Inn and Marina
the boaters would gather in mid afternoon and while away the time
till sunset telling tall tales, trading maintenance tips, and playing
games such as Mexican Trail dominoes or Sequence. The ladies would
work on their straw baskets while the guys would lounge in the pool.
Everyone would bring an hor d orvers and for some reason the resort
allowed us to bring our own drinks. All we had to do was clean up
when we left.
Most afternoons the ladies brought food

The
situation was so favorable that it brings up the question, “Why
would anyone leave this place?” Sadly, having run out of money,
spending most of it on mooring ball rent, rum and cheese, White
Pepper
had to depart for Marsh Harbor, Abaco to look for an ATM machine, fresh fruit and vegetables. I can't wait to go back.

I had the same feelings the last time I was in the Abacos and Hope Town. I've been trying to get back there ever since. Had a blast!
